Author Robert Brodey

A writer, photographer, traveller, trail runner and athlete, Robert Brodey has been penning spectacular stories for Outpost for almost two decades, where he’s a frequent Team Outpost member in field expeditions. His many world adventures have taken him to Peru, New Zealand, Colombia, France and Malaysia.

He’s tackled the Tour du Mont Blanc, Whistler’s Coast Mountains and the hills of Lake Titicaca. Now, in what may be his most important run ever, Outpost contributor Robert Brodey heads to southwest France to reconnect with family roots.

Robert Brodey's family has been spending summers in the French Pyrenees since the 1960s. After running his first race there, he reflects on nearly five full decades of changes: in the region, in his family and in their stories.
